Anticipation


A place of anticipation . . . is a good place.  Anticipation is an expectation of what is to occur in the future. There is energy produced when we anticipate something or even more . . . someone.  We have been in the place of anticipation as we waited for little Madelyn to arrive from China.  

 A circle of friends and family invested their thoughts, hopes, and dreams for one little girl.  
In the end, our relationships strengthened and become more intimate as we anticipated Madelyn’s arrival together.    Now, we are in the place of helping her acclimate to us. And, we are anticipating the days ahead with her in our life and us in her life. 

Anticipation is a good place to be in.  The people of God crossed over the Jordan River to a place called Gilgal, a place of anticipation.  They stood on the edge of their future . . . a promised place . . .the Promised Land: Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho. Joshua 4:19

Enjoy the place of anticipation in your life.
Anticipate the future.
Celebrate what is to come.

Learning with you to KICK START the day in anticipation,
Pastor Kerrie
